NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement, “Bryan Murray’s strength and character were reflected in the teams he coached and the teams he built over decades of front office excellence…While his warmth and dry sense of humor were always evident, they were accompanied by the fiery competitiveness and determination that were his trademarks. As we mourn Bryan’s passing, we celebrate his many contributions to the game — as well as his courage. The National Hockey League family sends our deepest condolences, comfort and support to Bryan’s family, his many friends and all whose lives he influenced.”

Eugene Melnyk, the owner of the Senators also released a statement saying, “Bryan was one of the greatest men that the game of hockey has ever known and also a great father, mentor and teacher…We extend our sincere condolences to his wife Geri, daughters Heide and Brittany, and the entire Murray family on their loss.”

Murray was with the Senators from 2007-2016 and also spent time as General Manager of the Detroit Red Wings, Florida Panthers and Anaheim Ducks while also coaching the Panthers, Ducks, Red Wings and Washington Capitals throughout his career.

Sandra’s leg hair is so long, I think Ginger has started braiding it in the mornings, to stop it from brushing the mics.

MY attempt at a playoff beard ALMOST looks like a real beard now.

I feel like the pinocchio of facial hair, with a smidge less lying.

Some people listen to specific songs. Some players eat SPECIFIC foods. Some take naps of an EXACT length…

And then: there’s the pee socks.

A Half an hour before Game 6, I was about to bathe my 8 month old son (and almost 4 year old, in a tub-WITHIN-a-tub INCEPTION-esque engineering feat…), whilst wearing MY lucky Sens Socks.

I got him down to his birthday suit, and started walking from his room to the bathroom with him wedged against a bare chest (I was about to bathe two kids. Not leaving a shirt on for that, that’d be ridiculous…

When suddenly, I felt very warm, and splashingly wet.

Reece, little stinker, managed to “get me”. and GET ME GOOD, he did. And the carpeted floor in his room, suddenly seemed like it was under a sea of yellow. #AllInURINE I guess.

Here I am, COATED in fresh… paint… let’s say.

I managed to get them both bathed, changed, and Reece to bed, Liam into his SENS PJ’s, ready to come down and watch the first period before bedtime for him…

Still wearing these pee-stained socks.

…BUT THEY’RE LUCKY. WHAT DO YOU DO!?

You ask the good people of twitter.

And the RESOUNDING reaction: Keep em on, Ryan.

When the Sens managed to WIN Game 6, I got a flood (HA. I GET IT.) of messages telling me I’d better put them somewhere safe, but NOT wash em.

So into a ziploc, and INTO the freezer they went.
They’re still in the bag, removed from the freezer this aft by my wife, And YES, I’ll put em on tonight.

Because I’m #ALLIN, Damnit.

I believe in this Senators squad. Completely.

Why NOT us?

Why NOT NOW?

#PeeSocksFTW.

The Islanders have the third worst attendance this year according to NHL statistics and the arena’s owner says it makes more money off of concerts and other events (they do have an NBA team, too).

At home, our Ottawa Senators rank 10th from the bottom when it comes to attendance which isn’t great. You’ve heard we’re in a “seat slump” from various news outlets and sports bloggers. The National Post has a great article on this topic: “Ottawa Senators could be in trouble if attendance doesn’t rise for big games in January” – CLICK HERE to see what they had to say.

“I’m a big sens fan but [it’s] not worth a month of groceries for one game.”

That comment came from Eric, while Jen and Angela aren’t happy with the restrictions placed on smokers. Most of the comments related directly to price, saying if the organization lowered the cost of tickets, parking and concessions they would be more inclined to fill those empty seats.
